Bulletproof checks

Bottom line

The National Weather Service lists 'lightning never strikes the same place twice' as a myth. Tall or exposed objects can be struck repeatedly.

1

NWS labels it a myth

The National Weather Service directly identifies the same-place claim as false.

2

Tall objects are repeat targets

Lightning science explains why high, isolated, or conductive objects can be struck many times.

3

The word 'never' breaks the claim

One documented repeated strike is enough to refute the absolute version of the claim.

Think this missed something?

Disagree? Run a counter-check.

To overturn this result, bring meteorological evidence showing repeated strikes at the same object cannot occur.
